Note: This review contains SPOILERS We need to talk about Kevin. Kevin Hopps, that is. Before, I’ve given him a pass – twice, actually. After all, “Fighter Flight” was still really early in the season, and we were still sort of figuring out who these characters are in “Out of Darkness.” I can’t, however, give … Continue reading STAR WARS REBELS Review – “Idiot’s Array”
Note: This review contains SPOILERS As I mentioned in my editorial on the series, part of the reason why I watched Star Wars: The Clone Wars – in spite of the fact that most of it was bad – is because I’d heard that there would be more connective tissue between that show, and Star Wars … Continue reading STAR WARS REBELS Review – “Path of the Jedi”
Over the past few months I’ve watched Star Wars: The Clone Wars in its entirety. I’m still not sure why I did this. It started as curiosity – I have been enjoying Lucasfilm Animation’s new series Star Wars Rebels, so I figured I might as well give their previous show a shot, but very quickly this proved … Continue reading I Watched STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS So You Don’t Have To
Note: This review contains SPOILERS As we enter the holiday season, most shows are going on hiatus until January and leaving us with big mid-season finales in an attempt to sustain our interest through the holidays. Star Wars Rebels is no exception, wrapping up the first half of its first season with a two-part episode that … Continue reading STAR WARS REBELS Review – “Gathering Forces”

I had only ever seen the feature film that launched the series (which is godawful, for the record) … Continue reading STAR WARS REBELS Review – “Empire Day”
Note: This review contains SPOILERS This week Star Wars Rebels finally gave us the Hera/Sabine-centric episode I’ve been clamoring for and the end result is the feeling that I still don’t know as much as I’d like to about these characters. It’s a shame because this week’s gimmick is an episode focussed almost exclusively on … Continue reading STAR WARS REBELS Review – “Out of Darkness”
Note: This review contains SPOILERS After last week’s episode was stuffed (perhaps even overstuffed) with big, plot focussed reveals, this week’s episode takes things a step back and returns to a more character centric story, this time focussing again on the series’ most well-developed character so far: Ezra. The episode begins with a group of young … Continue reading STAR WARS REBELS Review – “Breaking Ranks”
Note: This review contains SPOILERS Last week I said that it was important for Star Wars Rebels to follow up the encore showing of “Spark of Rebellion” on ABC with a really strong episode that forwards the major arc of the season, and I’m happy to report that “Rise of the Old Masters” does exactly … Continue reading STAR WARS REBELS Review – “Rise of the Old Masters”
A Note Upfront: I’m hoping to make this the first in a regular series of weekly reviews covering Star Wars Rebels. I’ve been wanting to write more for this blog, so covering a weekly TV series seems like a decent way to convince myself to do so with some level of regularity. As it stands, … Continue reading STAR WARS REBELS – Recap and “Fighter Flight” Review
